Day Workshops

ACRYLIC DAY WORKSHOP

If you would like to spend time to discover the code of Acrylics, then this is the Workshop for you. Starting from the basics of paint application, through to how to achieve different effects using brushes and other tools, this Workshop will give you a solid foundation for moving forward with your painting skills in confidence.

WATERCOLOUR / AQUARELLE DAY WORKSHOP

Wet in Wet, Dry on Dry, Dry in Wet..... just what does it all mean? And, how do you achieve it? Have fun learning these techniques as well as how to incorporate aids such as masking fluid, salt, cling film, sponges & more, to create stunning effects. Watercolour painting does not necessarily mean landscape painting!!

SOFT PASTEL DAY WORKSHOP

This Workshop is suitable for anyone who wishes to create super colour, soft, pliable images with pastels. Very different from Oil Pastel with it's waxy feel, Soft Pastels can seem a little daunting (and sometimes messy!) without a general knowledge of how to use them, and what aids to use to give the best results. On this Workshop you will quickly learn about application, colour mixing, correction techniques & layering of colours to produce depth.

SKETCHING DAY WORKSHOP

'Sketching' is a term that encompases anything from a quick 10 minute drawing with one pencil, right trough to artwork created over months, with every grade of pencil, charcoal & graphite stick available. On this Workshop, you will learn to capture shape, then to give form with depth of shade & light, by using a range of graphite pencils. Capture the lightness of a feather, the fluidity of water, or the solid feel of a building.

THE TRAVELER'S 1,2,3 FOR CAPTURING COMPOSITION

When you are traveling and find yourself at a loose end - maybe whilst waiting for a bus..... or sitting for lunch on a hike..... wouldn't it be nice to know how to quickly capture the scene before you on paper? But carrying all that art equipment makes it impossible, right? WRONG! This Workshop will show you how, with a minimum of time, and a minimum of equipment, you can capture a scene and all the information you need, so that you can create a beautiful painting or detailed sketch at a later date, once you are home or at your hotel. You will never miss a painting opportunity ever again!

Day Workshops are available throughout the summer season - May to October.
